One reason conventional outsourcing models sometimes fall short is because the outsourcing vendor is not fully engaged at the business level. The traditional approach to IT sourcing involves hiring a vendor, leading to an "us and them" scenario. The vendor is perceived as an outside entity that supplies staff resources, with little or no accountability for helping you meet your business objectives.

At Alacriti, we strive to become a partner to your business. Our role is not simply to supply resources or complete discrete tasks, but to deliver business results. By carefully determining the scope of each project, with a focus on delivering business value, each project is completed in a positive and predictable manner.

We strongly believe in building long-term, strategic relationships with each and every customer. Our seasoned team of business and technology professionals brings a fresh perspective to each project, based on a unique mix of business acumen, domain knowledge and technical expertise.

Global Delivery Model

Our sourcing strategy becomes even more compelling thanks to our ability to utilize offshore resources commonly called a Global Delivery Model. Many of our engagements have two components: onsite and offshore. The onsite portions of the engagement are executed at your premise, or nearby at one of our research labs. These activities typically require close end-user interaction, proximity to a given market, or quick turnaround time. The offsite component is typically executed in Hyderabad, India, where labor costs are lower. This gives us an efficient, 24-hour development team and we pass on the savings to you.

The Global Delivery Model reduces costs by doing work where it makes the most economic sense with the least amount of acceptable risk. Our project teams reside at different physical locations, yet their activities are coordinated with ongoing communication and clearly defined process guidelines. The inherent efficiency and flexibility of this model equips us to meet your objectives at a comparatively low cost. The emphasis is not on merely supplying resources, but on delivering results and building value as you define it.
